Do you think you will be able to afford it?
Meh. I have mine mostly under control so if they price it out of reach, so be it.
But given that the article says it's reformulating existing drugs to work here, they may be considerably cheaper than expected.
The fact this has to be a concern is so depressing....
Yes, but the guy raising the concern may just have an ax to grind about the state of US healthcare.
The Fisher King to Perceval: “The real Holy Grail was the irritable bowel syndrome we acquired along the way.”
Researchers have discovered a key biological pathway that drives inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and other autoimmune disorders. This breakthrough centers on a gene called ETS2 that regulates the inflammatory behavior of immune cells called macrophages. The same pathway is thought to underlie conditions like ankylosing spondylitis and autoimmune liver and artery diseases. Existing cancer drugs called MEK inhibitors can dampen the activity of ETS2, suggesting a potential treatment approach. The researchers are now working to develop a targeted version of these drugs to treat IBD and related conditions, with clinical trials expected within 5 years. This discovery represents a major advance in understanding the fundamental causes of IBD and other immune disorders.
